Custom Patio Covers for Year-Round Comfort

Elevate your home's patio with a Goodwin-Cole patio cover that blends high-end style and lasting durability.
Goodwin-Cole offers exceptional aluminum patio cover systems, each crafted for maximum durability, style, and functionality to enhance your home’s outdoor area. These structures provide the rich look of natural wood with none of the upkeep – they won’t warp, rot, or require frequent repainting like traditional wood covers. Plus, when installed by our experts, every patio cover is backed by a lifetime transferable warranty for your peace of mind.
In homes of distinction, a custom patio cover not only expands your entertaining space but also adds value and architectural interest in a way that truly complements an upscale lifestyle.
Mounting Options
Choosing the right mounting type ensures your patio cover seamlessly integrates with your home’s architecture and suits your outdoor lifestyle. We offer versatile installation options tailored to your space and preferences.

Attached Patio Covers
Attached patio covers connect directly to your home’s exterior (typically to an exterior wall or fascia) - creating a seamless indoor-outdoor transition. Ideal for patios adjacent to your home, attached patio covers offer convenience and integrate smoothly with your existing architecture, providing a cohesive extension of your living area.

Freestanding Patio Covers
Freestanding patio covers provide independent structures supported by their own posts, perfect for creating shade and shelter anywhere on your property. Ideal for gardens, poolsides, or outdoor kitchens, these covers offer versatile placement and distinctive standalone aesthetics, turning unused yard spaces into charming outdoor retreats.
Roof Options

For those who love a bit of sunshine and breeze, a lattice roof is ideal. This style features an open grid of slats that provides partial shade while allowing light and air to filter through. The effect is elegant and airy, casting beautiful patterned shade across your patio. A lattice cover is perfect when you want to take the edge off the sun without darkening your outdoor area completely. It also creates a more open, pergola-like feel, which many homeowners find adds a casual, relaxed ambiance.
Design note: lattice covers can even support lightweight climbing vines or string lights for added charm.
Just like our solid covers, the lattice systems come in all our color finishes and beam end styles for a cohesive look with your home.

If you’re seeking full shade and rain protection, our solid roof patio covers have you covered. A solid roof is a continuous surface (no gaps) that completely blocks the sun and shields your patio from rain – essentially creating a dry, shaded outdoor room. This option is great for year-round use of your patio; you can place furniture, electronics, or an outdoor kitchen under a solid cover and know they’ll be protected from the elements.
Despite providing full coverage, these patio covers still boast the attractive wood-like aesthetic of our Duralum material, so you don’t sacrifice style for functionality. We incorporate an integrated gutter system along the roof edge to channel rainwater away (just like a house’s gutters), keeping your sitting area leak-free even during storms. Solid roof covers can be built in a traditional straight-line style or enhanced with decorative rafter tails (Scallop, Corbel, Miter, Bevel) for a classic craftsman look – the choice is yours.

For the ultimate in comfort, our insulated patio covers take the solid roof concept a step further. These covers feature insulated roof panels (with a high-density foam core) that significantly reduce heat transfer, helping to keep the area underneath cooler in hot weather and warmer on chilly days.
An insulated roof cover is the best choice if you intend to spend a lot of time on your patio during Sacramento’s hot summers – it creates a noticeable temperature difference by blocking the sun’s heat. It also dampens noise from rain, so you can enjoy a quieter, more serene space during a downpour. Visually, insulated covers look just like our solid covers (same colors, textures, and styling options), so you still get the beautiful wood-look finish you desire. Many homeowners consider the insulated roof covers the top-tier option for an outdoor living space that’s comfortable in all seasons.
Another advantage: if you ever choose to enclose your patio cover into a sunroom or add screens/windows, the insulated roof is ready for it – it’s built with the structural strength and design to support future walls or glass, meaning half the work is already done when converting to a room addition down the line.

Can’t decide between a lattice and a solid/insulated cover? We can do a combination patio cover that blends both styles in one structure. For example, you might have a partial lattice section over one area (for light gardening or a bright seating nook) and a solid or insulated section over another area (for full shade over an outdoor dining set). This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds – open-air ambiance where you want it, and complete coverage where you need it.
Goodwin-Cole’s design team can configure a custom combo layout tailored to your yard, delivering a truly unique and functional outdoor retreat.
Colors, Finishes, & Options
Colors
Customize your patio cover to complement your home’s unique style with our extensive range of colors, luxurious finishes, and sophisticated design details. Goodwin-Cole patio covers offer an elegant palette of nine designer colors, from timeless neutrals like White, Sandalwood, and Driftwood to deeper contemporary hues such as Pewter and Ebony. Each color is applied through an advanced, baked-on finishing process that provides exceptional resistance against fading, corrosion, and wear.
Finishes
Enhance the authenticity of your patio cover’s appearance with a choice of flat , stucco, or embossed woodgrain textures—capturing the warmth and visual richness of real wood, but without the constant upkeep. These premium textures beautifully mimic natural wood grains, adding subtle visual depth and tactile elegance to your outdoor structure.
Roof-Tube Options
Finally, bring distinctive style to your patio cover with one of our four classic roof-tube end designs:
- Miter Cut: Clean, contemporary angled edges for a modern aesthetic.
- Bevel Cut: Refined and subtle angle that adds traditional charm.
- Scallop Cut: Graceful curves offering an elegant, timeless appeal.
- Corbel Cut: Ornamental, craftsman-inspired detailing to elevate your patio’s sophistication.


Materials

Our patio covers are expertly constructed from high-quality aluminum with a robust protective coating (comparable to Teflon®), ensuring long-lasting resistance against heat, dirt, and stains.
Unlike wood, aluminum won’t warp, rot, or require repainting, delivering enduring beauty with minimal maintenance. The authentic woodgrain textures offer the luxurious appeal of natural wood, while structural integrity provides outstanding performance even in harsh weather.
Make your patio cover truly your own by outfitting it with smart accessories and add-ons. We can integrate a variety of features that enhance comfort, convenience, and ambiance:

Ceiling Fans
Add comfort and airflow to your patio with outdoor-rated ceiling fans, discreetly mounted under the cover.

Integrated Lighting
Illuminate your evenings with built-in recessed LEDs or pendant lighting, all seamlessly integrated into your cover’s structure.

Heaters
Extend your outdoor enjoyment into cooler months with low-profile infrared heaters mounted directly under your patio cover.

Electrical Outlets
Install weather-rated outlets into your patio ceiling for convenient power – perfect for fans, laptops, or holiday lighting..

Roller Shades
Add side-mounted roller shades that deploy at your convenience for extra shade or bug-free evenings.
